Nice... thanks yo

The logs show a lot of incoming new connection requests, mostly on the SSH port and using all sort of common usernames. I suppose its a brute force attack.

Reverse DNS lookup points it back to China. Are you getting them too?

On the basic DIR-615, what are the recommended steps to secure the router from outside access? The BTU modem as well.

So far I've only changed the passwords for the admin and operator accounts on my DIR-615 to an alphanumeric password of my own. Other than that, nothing else.

I'm glad i read Riz's guide to disable that remote management thing and enable firewall

At the moment, I start to feel that my dlink is getting SICK, connected but unable to use internet... time to whip out vlan bridge

My installer told me to keep the default settings for about 1 month for diagnostic purposes. Naturally, I did not comply.

1Gbps at RM199?

Read Rizzy's guide on router security here.

Yeah... I thought they would enable the firewall.... man that also they didnt do it.... the same day itself I have adjusted the settings according to Riz's...

i hope dd-wrt would come out with vlan tagging to control... then i can flash it to get both iptv n internet running smoothly =)

you can try this if ur router fall under the support list.

I received the same message from the installer as he mentioned UNIFI personnel may need to configure your system within a month. After 3 days UNIFI installed, I break the rules and have VLAN bridge over DIR-615

Added on September 6, 2010, 3:02 pmCan I enable firewall on my internet router (TLink WP941N) instead of DIR-615, i.e. disable firewall on DIR-615?

do i still need to report since like every1 having problem though ? or they doing some maintenence ?

Im not sure about that, but from what I read around the thread, its best to decrease as much load from the DIR and pass it to your router since DIR is so easy to kaput.... so yeah, i think it would be better to enable firewall in your "real" router =p

No VOIP still, but no problem with download (currently downloading iPod app. update) - Puchong Utama 2

Added on September 6, 2010, 3:41 pmThanks, that' what I am doing , also diable wireless@DIR-615, this morning I started to slow in responding TM D-link page (192.168.0.1) when type the URL in my browser, very scary

Fast, fast I follow Riz' guide to customize my new purchased internet router, otherwise DIR-615 will get fever !

i dont have a router yet... wanted to buy asus 16N... but it was rm390.... dunno if its worth it ... i want something that replaces the whole darn dlink... lol

any other routers you'd guys recommend if i were to just get a router (without vlan thing), no idea which to get... but as long with dd-wrt im good.

You may try TP Link TL-WR941N internet wireless 300Mbps router (with dd-wrt) which is considered one of the cheapest router which is around RM130 - RM149 only. A few Sifus here also recommend this one, you may read more review on this unit though before you make up your mind.

Hope anyone of you here don't mind helping me to clarify this. Just want to be sure if I understand this correctly since I'm about to install it.

So if we get MikroTik RB250GS then we can straight away keep DIR 615 and allow RB250GS (no need for another custom router?) to handle all the loads from VOIP, Internet and IPTV?

Another choice we can go for is getting a custom router with VLAN and hook it up with DIR 615 to reduce crashing and reliability issues?

the RB250GS is to replace the DIR-615 completely. But you would still need a router on the back end doing pppoe dial. mikrotik should be more reliable as the switch is design for business usage.

another solution is to make DIR-615 a simple bridge, then get any retail router do pppoe dial. but this solution only lighten the load of 615, you still run the risk of 615 fail anytime.

till now I only have 615 enable as bridge, and torrent only 80 connection(more than enough to fully use up 5mbps anyway). I have never do torrent and IPTV at the same time. 615 doing fine so far, if all these fail, then looks like the only choice to go is with Mikrotik.

I suspect the 615 high failure rate is because it is not design to handle vlan tagging and IPTV streaming. Torrenting 24/7 and IPTV would probably be too much for that simple cheap home router. 615 is just a simple router. TM obviously trying to modified proton waja engine with evo turbo for Drag race. I cant believe they use the same consumer router for BIZ package(with vlan tagging too). Why would a corporate with thousands ringgit worth of high quality network devices need to hook their network on this silly small router?

Well thats my opinion, not really good in this networking thingy.

Seems like getting another router will be a viable option for me and I also found out that RB250GS isn't equipped with wireless networking feature and the reason is that it is intended for business usage rather than home I suppose.

Thanks for replying
